Archer is incredibly nonchalant about most events in his life. Now, he is a happy, calm kid. But there are only 3 things that make up his defined Holy Trinity of Awesome. Those 3 things would be Snack, Junior, and LegendofZeldaTearsoftheKingdom. (Sometimes Double Stack Trains will take Junior’s place if Junior is being a butt.) These will get him gabbing for hours on end to anyone and everyone. Otherwise, he’s just my content little cub taking the world at face value.

And monumentous events, such as losing your first tooth, are nothing worth telling your mother about.

I admit, I was a little disoriented by the non-reactive reaction. This was nothing like when Arrow lost her first tooth.

Arrow lost her little mind when she discovered her first wiggly tooth. That was the main topic of conversation at dinner for the rest of the week. She was SO excited to sell her bones for cash.

You guys. The standards she set for that poor fairy. First, she thought 5 bucks was a fair exchange. Then, she remembered the fun story of my high school friend who got a bike when he lost his tooth. Arrow already had a bike, so she thought a new skateboard was a reasonable request!

What was a tooth fairy to do?!

Well, Arrow woke up the next morning to two measly quarters resting underneath her pillow. 🙂 (She was still pretty happy about that by the way 🙂 )

You can see how the drama of Arrow’s tooth so starkly contrasts Archer’s tooth loss. For he simply does not care if it’s wiggly. He does not care if it comes out! I don’t think we would have known about it if it wasn’t for Taylor. On the (un)eventful day, Taylor was helping Archer in the shower when he saw the gap in the gums.

Taylor: Buddy!! You lost your tooth!!

Archer: Huh? Really?

Taylor: Yes! Do you know where it fell out?!

Archer: No?

Taylor: Did you feel anything hard in your mouth and spit it out?

Archer: Oooh… I had oatmeal for breakfast! There was a hard piece in my mouth and I thought it was weird.

Taylor: Did you spit it into the garbage?

Archer: Nope. I just gulped it up!

Taylor: YOU- YOU ATE YOUR TOOTH?!

My son. He cracks me up.

I never did get around to putting money calling in the Tooth Fairy. Archer never said a thing about it and I’m an outta sight outta mind kind of girl. In fact, enough time passed that Archer lost a second tooth before he finally got his reward.

When Archer lost his second tooth, he was a little more emotional about it. He bagged up his little baby tooth. He sadly tucked it under his pillow.

Archer: I just wish the Toof Fairy didn’t take my teef:( I want to experiment them!

Gosh. First, this poor girl is laden with unreasonable demands, and now kids don’t even want her to do her job!

What was the Tooth Fairy to do?!

Well, Archer woke up the next morning to a couple of measly quarters… and his tooth. On the plastic baggie she wrote, “FOR SCIENCE”.

Maybe the Tooth Fairy will make the Holy Trinity of Awesome, after all 🙂
